RAISING BROOMCORN.
The Clemson Experiment Stution
Gives Some Interesting
Information.
Special to The State.
Clemson College, April 13. ?
There seems to We a great deal of
interest just .now in Wroomcorn.
Col Newman receives letters daily,
asking for directions for planting,
harvesting and curing the crop.
This correspondent asked Col
Newman if brooiucorn is an important
crop, to which he replied
i 'It furnishes the world with
I brooms.'' If tho supoly of
brooms is increased, the world
will be cleaner and brighter and
the people happier and healthier.
Here are the leading points as to
Oroomcorn raising, as given by
Col Newman.
The plant is a non-saccharine
sorghum. Th* preparation,
planting and cultivation are in
general, the same as that necessary
for raising sorghum for j
syrup On thoroughly prepared
land, plant from two to tivequafts
per acre. In Ohio and New York
one bushel of seed will plant
about fifteen acres, but here a
bushel will plant twelve acres.
The cultivation is easy. The
land should be well fertilized, and
the seed put in rather shallow.
The cultivation is like that for
corn or sorghum. It should ha
kept clean, and should have shal
low cultirat'on after each rain in
order to keep a good soil mulch, j
The main point* are the harvesting,
and curing. Ah with
tobacco, the price depend* chiefly
on these two operations. To secure
the best brush with the
greatest elasticity and the proper
green color, the brush should be
harvested just as the seed are
passing from the milk to the
dough stage. The old method of
"lienching" by bending two rows
diagonally across each other, the
one thua supporting the other, is
no longer used, because it gave a
red brittle brush instead of the
green. Eight iuches of stalk cut
with the brush is the standard. |
! \11 iro atullr inpp?o??<
> > w W WM * luvt vtinv HIV TTCI^Ill J
but more thun proportionately
reduces the price.
The market demands a green
brush, which is secured by curing
in the shade. For .this purpose, j
sheds with movable slatted
trays are necessary. Bulking in
curing, injures both the strength
and the color of the brush.
There are various simple de ,
ices for stripping the seed.
When the crop is grown on a
large scale, a machine like the
auiall grain thresher with the up* ,
per concave left out is used.
When cured and stripped of seeds
the brushes are put up in a way
very similar to that in which cot- ,
ton is baled, the package* con - ,
taining COO pounds. An acre
oroD^rlv fertilized and
will yield 600 to 800 pounds of j
clean brush.
Southern growers have the ad- !
vantage of getting the crop in on
a comparatively bare market,
where the old stock ia nearly exhausted
and before the northern
crop can be gotten on the market.
The proper plan for the southern
growers is for the farmers in
a section to establish a bcpom factory,
employing an expert superintendent,
and pledge themselves
to produce enough to keep tho
factory runniag throughout the
year. In this way thsy will receive
the profits from the finished
product instead of selling for the
price of tho raw material,
Those embarking in this mj
dustry should thoroughly inform
themselves as to the bent methods
of harvesting, curing and marketing,
and provide necessary sheds
and frames for securing a first
class product.
The letters Col. Newman receives
indicate that very few have
much information as to the
requisites for success. Some good
publication on the subject is
necessary to get the details for
bardling the crop.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
Conditions for the Week in Various
Departments Unfavorable.
New York, April 13. ? Dun's
review of trade will tomorrow
says: The failures for the first
(putter of this yoar uro 21.0 per
cent, greater than last year. New
bussiness in finished iron products
is exceedingly small, the tendency
being to writ for lower prices.
The plate mills in Pittsburg, Ohio
and Pennsylvania are stopping.
The boot and shoe industry is
falling behind. Large quantities
of leather have been sold, but,the
p'iees are unchanged. There is
heavy wholesale business in dry
foods. Woolens and worsteds are
dull with prices lower. The exports
of wh it from Ik th coasts aro
larger than last year. The railroad
earnings for March are increased.
The failures for the week are 198
in the I nited States and forty one
in Can udu.
